I would tell him kiddo could cut himself on the other radiator too as their fingers are very small and can reach places we can't.

IMO the key metric is the DCR. talk to a commercial lender and find out how much they would lend on the property with a convetional loan and then factor in the 25% down and thats your number. i think most banks want 1.2-1.25 in order to lend based on the financials. 

The rule states that your rent should be at least 1% of your property’s sale price.The 1% rule or guideline is a helpful tool, but should not be your main metric of success when analyzing an investment property.

Thank you.There's reaching out to an Interior Designer but they may be limited since they may be unfamiliar with moving of walls especially if load bearing.

I wanted to reach out to see if anyone had any advice, strategies, etc. on my first-time rental in Michigan.

@Marco Spaziani Brunella , if you are interested in the Shenandoah Valley, specifically STRs, reach out to @Michael H.

Feel free to reach out if you need any advice. 

Secondly, does anyone have a good metric for evaluating mid-term rental demand?

It should have been caught earlier in the process, and is not a true reflection of how we conduct business here at Lima One.Feel free to reach out if anyone has any other questions or comments!

Hey @Chris Boyer, feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat sometime.
